This site is an OS/390 operating system information ressource, especially its client/server integration into internet and e-business applications. The information is planned to be used in colleges and universities to prepare course material for computer science classes. It may also be useful as self study material for professionals getting interested in OS/390.The second half of the 90s has seen a renaissance of S/390 systems and particularily the OS/390 operating system. Superior reliability, availability, scaleability, performance, attractive total cost of ownership, and the trend for recentralisation are the driving forces. In addition, OS/390 positions itself as an internet and e-business server. Unfortunately, there are few up to date text books available, and the topic is only infrequently presented at conferences and in scientific journals.
Dr. Sergej Voropajev assisted in preparing the information contained in this site. Much of the material has been extracted from existing IBM publications, esp. product documentation, IBM redbooks or IBM Journal publications.
